* Frown must be painted black and overlap the “lips”. Eight total teeth on the frown are to be cut out.

* Traps and tears must be slate blue. They should be decals and not hand painted.

* Rear traps & tears must have lines.

* Blue tube stripes, matching what was used on screen, navy blue and black are not acceptable. There must be at least 9 and a maximum of 15. The curve must bend backwards. There does not need to be an equal amount per side.

* Lenses may be flat or bubble green, or flat or bubble gray.

* Chin must be black.

* Mic tips must be present.

 

 

An ROTJ Stormtrooper should have:

* A screen accurate or screen approximate helmet. The "classic" FX helmet does not fit this category.

* Correct hovi mike tips.

* A single back piece rather than a separate butt/kidney pieces.

* Ab plate buttons have 3 dark blue and the rest black.

* Ab plate details (button area) needs to be upside down compared to ANH/ESB details

* Shoulder straps should not be attached with rivets, and should free float in the back rather than being permanently attached.

* Molded lip around the cod and chest (similar to car door trim).

* Belt will be 2.5” wide.

* Lenses must be flat or bubble green – not smoke/gray.

* There should be no screws on the ears.

* The ends of the frown should be squared off, not tapered.

* Shoulder straps should not have a flat end at the ends of them, they should be ribbed 100%

* Thermal detonator should have metal clips approximately 1 inch wide, and should be all gray without silver stickers or silver paint.

* No shoulder bell straps across the biceps

* Shoulder bells are rounded at the corners

* Brow trim should be low on helmet

* E-11 blasters should have correct ROTJ detailing:

* Correct T-tracks (total of 6)

* Folding stock (does not need to function)

* No Henglster counter (different from ANH)

* D-ring on the rear

* Correct style scope

* Correct greeblies on the left rear area (door catch and two "hammers")

* Modified Hasbros are discouraged but allowed

 

 

ROTJ Stormtroopers may have:

* If a holster is worn, the holster must looped over the belt, covering the outside of the belt, rather than being attached from behind.

* Blaster details

* If armor side gaps are closed this should be done by adding a shim or shims of material that must be of similar material and color as the ab and back plate. Shims should fit flush and may have seams. Ideally they will be seamless if possible to the ab and/or back plate, resulting in a single seam between the ab/back rather than extra seams for where the shims are joined.

 

* Two greeblies on the left rear area
